Tire Change Service FAQs
Do I need to have a spare tire?
Yes, we mount your existing spare tire. If you don't have a spare, we can tow your vehicle to a tire shop. Many newer vehicles come with tire repair kits instead of spares—let us know your situation when you call.
Can you change a tire on the highway?
Yes, but for safety reasons, we may recommend towing to a safer location if you're in a dangerous spot. Our technicians are trained in highway safety protocols.
What if my spare tire is flat too?
If your spare is also flat or unusable, we can either tow your vehicle to a tire shop or attempt to inflate the spare if it just needs air. We carry portable air compressors for this purpose.
Do you repair or replace tires?
We provide tire change service (mounting your spare). For tire repair or new tires, we can tow you to a nearby tire shop. Some punctures can be temporarily plugged to get you to a shop safely.
